About MANA

The Midwives Alliance welcomes practicing and retired midwives, students, and midwifery advocates as valuable members of the organization. We rely on all of our members to participate in the activities of the Midwives Alliance by joining our sections, divisions, and standing committees, and through attendance at online meetings of the Membership Advisory Council. We encourage Midwife members to take on leadership roles as directors and officers on the MANA board, and as section, division, and committee chairs. Your participation influences the direction of the Midwives Alliance and benefits the future of midwifery.

There are many opportunities to become involved in the Midwives Alliance, including the following open positions and as members of any of our committees. Please contact us at orgdevelopment@mana.org to let us know your interests and skills.
